About this adventure
The Exploratorium at Pier 15 on the San Francisco waterfront is opening its Tinkering Studio for a special session. Parents and children can work together using wooden sticks, conductive copper foil, LED light sets, and eco-friendly gravity track parts to build their own marble roller coasters and colorful light and shadow puppet theaters, inspiring children's intuitive understanding of physical optics and mechanical engineering. The entire Exploratorium is a single-story, open, accessible concrete flat structure, making stroller navigation very smooth. Dedicated temporary stroller parking spots are available in major exhibition halls. Restrooms are equipped with wide, thick changing tables. A private nursing area with a soundproof door, comfortable pillows, and a sink is located near the eastern waterfront viewing corridor. Outside, the waterfront boardwalk offers pleasant sea breezes. The SeaGlass restaurant inside the museum provides healthy children's meals. Taking the F-line historic streetcar is recommended.
